										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ONE NIGHT ONLY
Piercing Heart<br />
February 23, 7:30pm<br />
@Asian Improv aRts Midwest, 4875 N Elston Ave, Chicago, IL 60630<br />
Solo performance created by Joan Laage/Kogut Butoh
Commissioned music by Bill Horist</p>
<p>So many thoughts and desires pierce our consciousness, our hearts, sometimes settling, other times escaping through the fleeting air. Where do we find our freedom and peace? In confinement or total abandonment? Piercing Heart was performed twice with live music by Bill Horist at Shimmer: Seattle Summer Butoh Festival and at the Chapel venue in Seattle in 2023 and at an experimental music festival in Vienna with musicians Florian Feit and Christoph Punzmann the same year.</p>
<p>____</p>
<p>Bio:<br />
Residing in Seattle WA for many years, Joan/Kogut is known as the Northwest butoh pioneer. She is one of the few non-Japanese to study with and dance under Yoko Ashikawa in her Tokyo-based group Gnome in the late 80’s. She also studied with Kazuo and Yoshito Ohno.</p>
<p>Joan has performed and taught at many festivals including the first New York butoh festival, Seattle and Salish Sea Butoh Festivals, Vienna’s Hybrid Butoh Festival, Butoh Festival (Tenri) and En Chair et En Son Acousmatic Festival in Paris, and at the Amsterdam and Warsaw Butoh Festival in 2024. Brought by Vangeline Theater, Joan presented her solo Rivers Running Red in New York City. Her work has been presented in Chicago by Nicole Legette. She wrote a dissertation on the butoh body and is featured in Tanya Calamoneri’s Butoh America. Joan directs an annual site-specific event in the Seattle’s Japanese gardens. Since living in Krakow 2004–2006, she has been known as Kogut (rooster). www.seattlebutoh-laage.com</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2025/02/one-night-only-piercing-heart/">ONE NIGHT ONLY

深海に生き続ける死者の魂。
あらゆる波のうねりは彼らの叫び。<br />
The souls of the dead live in the depths of the sea.
Every roar of the waves is their cry.</p>
<p>About Shinkai no tamashīi<br />
Souls in the sea. Refugees, these people fled of war, desperate situation and hunger. They entered the boats full of hope to survive, get help and a safe life. This hope sank into the sea. They lost everything and finally also their lives. We still mourn in reverence to the atomic bomb of Hiroshima, we experienced earth quakes and tsunamis, the super gau of the atomic plant of Fukushima which taught us fear and finally this corona pandemic.</p>
<p>Numerous people died through these horrible events – their bodies are lying on the ground of the sea, but their souls move on.</p>
<p>What would they tell us, if they could rise again out of the sea?</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2024/08/%e6%b7%b1%e6%b5%b7%e3%81%ae%e9%ad%82-shinkai-no-tamashii/">深海の魂 / Shinkai no tamashīi</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
